We equip the body for ministry through example, teaching, and discipleship.



It is important to be equipped to live a victorious Christian life. While we equip people to practically learn and apply Scripture, we ultimately believe that their application of the Scripture can be greatly enhanced by discipleship relationships. It is in a real life community of believers where they can be held accountable by their brothers and sisters in Christ. Through Christian fellowship and mutual admonition; our church body ministers to itself in its progressive transformation toward Christ-likeness and maturity (Eph. 4:11-16).



Through various small group studies (Growth Groups, Home Bible Studies and Life Groups) that are offered throughout the week, we want to help our people understand and apply everything from the basics of the Bible, to the deepest truths of theology, to the most practical aspects of marriage and childrearing. Feel free to attend one of the following groups or call the leader of that group for more information.
